Okay, so I know we are all disappointed about the US losing in the 2010 World Cup. But as we come back to the real world where all there is to talk about is the destination of Lebron James.
Was there really a chance for the Stars and Stripes to grab the Cup? No. It was fun, but realistically we had no shot, Landin Donavan even said so.
Who does have a shot? Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Portugal.
Who's really vying for this Cup??
So what I’m saying is eastern South America and the Iberian Peninsula has a shot to win the World Cup.
And it’s just not this year; past champions include Brazil (5), Italy (4), Germany (3), Argentina (2), Uruguay (2), France (1) and England (1). All past winners touch at least one other past winner, excluding England.
So is it really the “World” Cup?
That is interesting that the past champions all come from the same limited areas on the globe.
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup is more worldly than the World Series.
There are a couple other non-world world titles - *Heavyweight Champion of the World (really just of North America unless you count the big Russian dude in Rocky XL)
*World's Strongest Man (really just from countries that have tank tops - I've never seen an Eskimo in the competition)
*World's Fastest Human (must not count kids leaving the room when there are chores to be done - that's REALLY fast)
If not for Ripley finding things all over the Earth, all "world" titles would be specific regional titles.
As the World's most interesting man would say "Stay Thirsty, My Friends".
